The Huracán Evo is Here!

Recently, Lamborghini added another track monster to its list – the Lamborghini Huracán Evo. Obviously, this car is a continuation of the Huracán lineup, but with an overhaul. From the exterior to the interior, Lambo claims this to be naturally enhanced. But, starting at a price of $261,275, this car is for wealthy people. As with many Lamborghinis, this car has four-wheel drive. Finally, although it may not be the Pope Francis Edition, this car is amazing!

Lambo 5.2-Liter V10 Engine

The Lamborghini Huracán Evo begins with a powerful 5.2-liter V10. This engine produces 630 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. Furthermore, this motor works in combo with a 7-gear multi-disc, wet-clutch electronically controlled transmission. Subsequently, from 0 to 60 mph, the Huracán Evo takes only 2.9 seconds. Moreover, at the top end, this car reaches 201 mph. Next, let’s take a dive into the interior and tech of the Evo.

Lambo State-of-the-Art Tech

In recent years, Lamborghini has shown incentive to improve it’s tech. The Lamborghini Huracán Evo is a clear display of this goal. Firstly, the car begins with the Lamborghini Inertial Platform (LIP). This allows the vehicle to capture real-time info based on its behavior. Next, there is the Lamborghini Magnetorheological Suspension (LMS). Thirdly, the car has LDS, Lamborghini Dynamic Steering. Fourthly, the car has a “brain” that responds by anticipating how to react. This is called LDVI, or Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics. Finally, the interior comes with a stunning HMI, Human-Machine Interface, system. This provides the cockpit with an 8.4” multi-touch capacitive screen.

As with most of the company’s releases, Lamborghini does it again. The Lamborghini Huracán Evo is quite an amazing car. With a powerful V10 and tech, this car meets expectations. It is no longer a question of power or tech. Now, it is a question of how much of both. Obviously, it’s great to see Lambo move forward in the world of tech offerings. Overall, the Huracán Evo is a track monster that can be driven about town. But, be smart and avoid pulling an Alex Choi!

The Responsibility of Owning a High-Powered Vehicle

When you get behind the wheel of a car, you accept responsibility for the safety of yourself and others on the road. The burden of responsibility is such that “vehicular manslaughter” is a felony crime. This is especially true for those who drive exotic and high-powered vehicles like the Lamborghini Huracan.

Popular YouTuber Alex Choi found out first-hand how quickly things can go south. While messing around on a public road, he recklessly pulled out right in front of a Yamaha R1. That move nearly caused a potentially fatal accident.

Who is Alex Choi?

Alex Choi has built a large following on social media. He gained popularity among those interested in modified exotic cars and extreme vehicle customization. Choi was messing around in his Lamborghini Huracan when the incident shown in the video occurs.

Choi, for some unknown reason, turned off the shoulder and drifted across the public road. Coming at him was a motorcycle that he claims he never saw. Thankfully, they missed one another, if only by inches, and nobody was hurt.

Choi immediately pulled over and apologized, but a woman at the scene was visibly upset and let him know it. The motorcyclist circled back and the two exchanged a few words, and in the way of men, gave a quick “bro hug”, and all was well.

The Lamborghini Huracan

Apart from reckless driving, the issue seems to be the Huracan’s blind spot. Owners are speaking out with complaints about the car’s lack of visibility.

“Every time I drive the Huracan, the way the car is designed makes a ton of major blind spots. Almost to the point that I would rather be driving a normal sedan if there was no performance.” – JetFalcon

Whether the fault lies with the car’s design, human error, or bad judgment, we are all thankful that no one was hurt.

Pope Francis Receives Lamborghini Huracán as a Gift

In November 2017, Lamborghini gifted the Pope a beautifully customized Lamborghini Huracán. The event was located at the Pontiff’s Santa Marta residence at the Vatican. The MSRP of a base Lamborghini Huracán is $199,800 USD. On the exterior, this Lamborghini has a papal white paint job with gold accents and stripes. Although Lamborghini intended the gift for the pope, the Pontiff had separate plans.

Pope Francis began his papacy in 2013 and is the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church. His name is chosen in respect to Saint Francis of Assisi.

The Pope Auctions Lamborghini Huracán for Charity

Overall, the Lamborghini Huracán is a stunning feat of engineering. With it’s sporty exterior and a V10 engine, this is a car fan’s dream. Fortunately, for the Pope, Lamborghini was generous enough to provide one as a gift. Instead of keeping it for himself, Pope Francis put the Huracán up for auction to benefit charities. An example of one of the charities is the Pope John XXIII Community Association which fights human trafficking. In conclusion, although the Pope received an amazing gift, he was generous enough to think of others instead of himself.
